Did I get ripped off? Also, bad lasers, wrong media and strange modchips!

He is ripping you off. He is dodgy and cheating you. Discs don't wreck PS2's, s*** soldering and lame chips do.

Now he wants you to pay more? WTF? He did a crap job to get more money out of you.

And HELL no, I have played my PS2 for 8 hours straight. I have played THOUSANDS of hours on it. Works fine.

Use a good chip and good media (ritek, TY, verbatim) and a good burner (pioneer 106). The word "problem" will be unheard of

lol what a cycle of tricks that guy has up his sleeve... not doing the romeo mod and making the customer come back for a 100 dollar fix every months, if not week.
and aout the giving your ps2 a rest thing... i dont think thats true.. i think the ps2 manual says to give your EYES and BODY a 15 minute break not the ps2.

Would it be safe to use lower quality discs(Memorex) once the Romeo Mod is done?

You see, I'm still extemely paranoid of the PS2 making the slightest noise. I just turn it off after 15m of use.
Someone please ease my mind!

As for better media, I don't have access to it. Memorex is the best I can do, and a post in these forums checking DVDs said that Memorex and Riltek are just as good as originals.

If you can go and pick it up from their place when you are in the center then it would be rather cheap.
These are not fakes, they are the real deal.

What about the games I already have on Memorex? Can I still play them?

Or is the risk of completely destroying the PS2 again is too high?

No, don't use Memorex. It'll kill your laser whatever. Backup to Ritek and ALWAYS do a Romeo Mod.

The Romeo Mod is already done.
I assume that copying over from Memorex to Ritek would be safe?
